Faculty of Engineering

The University of Georgia’s campus and culture have been shaped to educate engineers in a liberal arts environment. UGA’s land-grant designation in 1862 began a legacy of engineering education stretching to the present day and beyond. Conferring engineering degrees continuously since 1868, UGA stands poised to lead in educating engineers for the 21st century.

Innovatively organized to capture the convergence of engineering with the arts, sciences and humanities, the Faculty of Engineering employs the principles of entrepreneurship, globalism and lifelong learning. It creates an environment that reaches beyond traditional discipline-based teaching, research and outreach. Academic programs are designed to graduate engineers who interweave technical excellence, innovative curiosity and humanistic consciousness into the practice and profession of serving society’s needs.

The use-inspired research paradigm prepares them for careers devoted to the integration of discoveries from multiple disciplines. These open pathways in the distinct setting of the University of Georgia provide a unique opportunity for a broad educational experience to match the complexity of today’s world.
